The furnishings were similar to what one might have at home, as opposed to a "commercial" or "institutional" appearance. The man managing the property was extremely friendly and helpful.

As an alternative to staying in Burlington, Golden Gate costs less, has beach front with a great lake view and is not far from the ferry dock. While the building may be showing its age, it does have a retro vibe and appears to be well maintained. I think having the kitchenette space is not a bad trade-off for a compact bathroom. Good value for travelers - especially in summer!

Everything was fine. Bathroom fixtures were a bit dated, but everything worked, and was clean. Bed was comfortable. The lakefront location was nice, sat out in front of the room for a while enjoying the evening breeze and listening to the waves.

Location and price. Drain a bit slow. Door window could have been shaded more to block out night light. Overall clean and convenient

Check in was super easy so was check out (didn’t even have to interact to check out just a key drop.) The room was really nice almost set up like a mini apartment more than the average hotel room. The private beach was right at the end of building easy access and nice to spend a few minutes in the sun taking in the view I caught the sunset and sunrise on the little beach both were beautiful for such an affordable room price. My only complaint was the bed felt obnoxiously high I’m about 5’2 and it was past my hips standing beside it I had to get a bit of run jump to get in it
